I recently used the top nine function that appears on Instagram this time of year. It came up with this selection from my Instagram feed.
I like the selection their algorithm chose. But what are my true favourites?
In no particular order here are my personal favourites from the year.
Camera: Lubitel 2 (not yet reviewed)
Film: Ilford HP5
Camera: Ricoh FF7-D
Film: Ilford HP5
Camera: Mobile phone, Galaxy A51 5G
Film: Digital 🙂
Camera: Holga 135 (Holga Week submission)
Film: Exeter Pan XX 400
Camera: Olympus OM40
Film: Ilford XP2
Camera: Canon IV sb2
Film: Ilford HP5
Camera: Sony RX100
Film: digital 🙂
Camera: Canonet
Film: Agfa APX400
Camera: Minolta Riva Zoom 105i
Film: Ilford FP4
What is interesting to me, most of the films used were Ilford and in particular HP5. I am quite eclectic when it comes to film, picking based on speed rather than type. But this selection clearly shows I have a preference for Ilford as a brand.
Anyway, that is definitely it for the year. Here’s to 2023. I hope you all have a safe holiday season and are fit and healthy for the new year and beyond.

For a moment there, on first glance, I wondered why your nine featured one of “my” photos. I guess we have a similar eye:
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you! 🙂

A fine, varied selection of subjects and techniques. Who says razor-sharpness is a must requirement of good photography! Wishing you a happy Christmas and a peaceful week of rest.

For a brief moment I thought one of “my” photos was in your selection. I guess we both have a similar eye. 🙂
